The Olympus 60mm macro lens for micro 4/3 has started shipping.

I know at least one DigitalDiver just picked his up.

No ideal port is available for this lens yet; so it might be a while before we start seeing underwater shots with this lens.http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/product.asp?product=1630&page=specs

I shot the 60mm macro today with the focus limiting switch set on 1:1 to infinity and shot in a range of about four inches to twenty inches. The lens did not seem to hunt much at all. I used the E-M5 in the Nauticam NA-EM5 housing with the with the flat port 72. This is not the ideal port for the lens but will work well until custom ports are released for the lens. Like all macro lenses with a 20 degree angle of view shooting beyond about twenty inches is better saved for a lens with a wider AOV. Next time I will set the focus limiting switch at the 1:1 to .4m and see if AF speed changes much.

All taken yesterday at the BHB.

Todays set of images were taken with the same set of equipment as above with the focus limiting switch set to 1:1 to 0.4m (15.7 inches). At this setting you are locked into a range and the lens will hunt if you are to close or to far away so it is about the same as not using it unless you are within the range. Once in range the AF locks on quite well if the subject is not moving to fast. This setting would be a great teaching tool for macro students who don't understand how close you need to be for many macro suubjects.

The Lionfish was shot at F/2.8 from about six inxhes to give you an idea of DOF and sharpness wide open, very good I would say.

Up to about 2500 images now with the 60 macro and the Nauticam flat port 72. This is a great lens for closeup to supermacro. It will be even better with a proper Nauticam macro port.
